Dianna Westwood
Massage Therapy
Dianna graduated from WCCMT Victoria and has served the Saanich Peninsula community ever since. Her passion for the power of massage in healing is immense, and driven by the personal experience of massage being instrumental in helping regain mobility after injury. Constantly fascinated by the interconnected nature of everything in the body, Dianna’s practice is based on the foundation that creating ease and decreasing and managing pain can help patients improve their quality of life and continue or return to the activities they enjoy. Dianna’s multi-faceted approach can, when warranted, include joint mobilizations, active release, myofascial manipulations, and deep tissue massage, always striving to find what each individual patient requires, to feel at their best. This includes homecare recommendations and and guidance around healthy active lifestyles and workouts.
Having now completed the first phase of Craniosacral Therapy training with the Upledger Institute, she now offers basic craniosacral therapy to new and current patients.
A lover of all things active and/or outdoors, She has been a small-boat sailor, a gardener/landscaper, and a yoga teacher.
Dianna and her family are proud and grateful to live, work and play on the traditional territories of the WSANEC peoples.
A note for those with allergies
Products and pets
It has always been my priority to keep my space scent free - as such, I do not wear scented products and the laundry detergent I use is very gentle. I also ask that you do not apply any scented products in our space.
I have always used a hypoallergenic oil, blended locally by Nezza Naturals. It is called "Pure and Simple". This is the ingredient list: *Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Fruit Oil, *Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oleoresin *Organic Ingredients
Finally
Please note!! There is a CAT that lives in this house. The cat does NOT ever have access to the treatment space or any of the areas that you will be utilizing. There is no crossover whatsoever. That said, if you have a severe allergy to cats, please take this into account, and feel free to reach out about this with any concerns. To limit exposure, this means that even those of you that are cat lovers will not get to meet our furry mascot, Catniss.
Working together
At Westwood Massage Therapy, your well-being is my priority. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all my patients, of all genders and ethnicities. I am dedicated to cultivating an experience in which you feel your needs are heard, and your path to relaxation and healing is supported. It is a collaborative effort, unwinding tension and recreating and rebuilding healthy movement patterns, and recovering from injury. As your RMT, I will do my part, and full healing/recovery will be expedited with your doing your part with homecare and return to activity.
